About the festival:


The Festival occurs in the neighborhood known as Lower Town. The 2010 Festival brought Darlene Dreyer on board from the Paducah Symphony Orchestra. Her hard work provided a top-notch lineup of musical acts that filled the three stages of the festival. The festival provides music from the Main Stage and from two Cabaret Stages. Part of the festival plan includes focusing attention not only on the 'street' action- but also actively promoting visits to each of the artist/art locations throughout the district.br>
